"See David Rhode, interviewed by Charlene Hunter-Gault on the PBS News Hour With Jim Lehrer, 17 November 1995. Under pressure from Gault,
Rhode admitted that the Muslims used the safe haven of Srebrenica to launch attacks against Serb villages. In these attacks, the Muslims took videos of the beheading of Serb civilians, women and children included, and then showed them in the cafes of Srebrenica. These videos were shown to shocked Western reporters at the time. The Muslim leader responsible for these acts, Nasir Oric, is now in Tuzla, Bosnia, and is yet to be indicted by the Hague. This only reinforces the contentions of Serbs about the double standard of justice in Bosnia. Of course, Rhode did mention that despite Muslim atrocities around Srebrenica, the massive Serb response had no justification. To further complicate matters,
the Bosnian parliamentary member for Srebrenica, Ibran Mustafic, accused the Bosnian government of ordering attacks against Serbs within the UN safe area so any Serb response would lead the Muslims "into a catastrophe." See Dario Sito Sucic, "Bosnian Government, Srebrenica Survivors Divided Over Fall of Town," OMRI Reports, Prague, 15 July 1996.
Srebrenica
That's an explanation for what happened. It doesn't excuse it.
